Subject: bug report on wiki, about Chinese Characters

Those are pages containing Chinese Characters. It's actually some
preliminary work for setting up a Chinese wiki, And unfortunately the
bug makes that impossible so far.

I'll use the page below to explain what the bug is like.

http://en.opensuse.org/CN-Frequently_Asked_Questions

It's Chinese translation for the English FAQ page.

I finished the translation at 14:26, 12 February 2006, after a couple
of times' edit. The page history is here:

http://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=CN-Frequently_Asked_Questions&action=history

I was using the browser Opera, whose default encoding code is UTF-8,
editing and posting. It seemed perfect when I just finished. And I did
visit the page a week later, it was still fine(both in Opera/firefox).
However,  someday in March I went back again and found it all messed
up. Some characters ( not all) can not ne recognized, and seems
replaced by "�?�" or "�?".(in Opera/firefox/IE)

According to the page history, nobody has touched it.

The same issue happens to all Chinese pages on the wiki, such as.
http://en.opensuse.org/CN-Communicate
http://en.opensuse.org/CN-SDB:SDB
..............
all full of "�?�"s.


I'm not quite sure if the problem is related to encoding or fonts. As
I saw similar messed-up Chinese pages on the wiki when I first came
here, I suppose it an existing bug. Maybe it's related to storing
chars? Quite STRANGE.

Any insights? I'm willing to do anything like debug if needed.

Best wishes.
